HORSE EXTRAVAGANZA

Ride Em’ Cowgirls!!!

Maddox told me she wanted to ride a horse this weekend. We got a group together and off to the races we went. We rode on the little pony’s, the pimped pony’s, and even great big horses. The girls had a blast and showed no fear. Well, mostly no fear. Maddox did great petting, talking to, and sitting on the horses but once it starting walking she panicked and wanted off. With a little encouragement she regained her confidence and rode like a champ. It was amazing to see her work back muscles she had never used before and just so you know, I am a complete believer in hippotherapy. Someday I will dream up enough money to open a camp.

Saddling up. Wide eyed....

Horse starts walking. MAMA, I WANT OFF

Getting coached through her fear.

Figuring this out. I LOVE her concentration in this photo.

PROUD OF HER ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Cheering her friends (Amaya, Addison, and Callie) on from the sidelines.
